I suck in a sharp breath.

“To find such a delicate little flower unprotected is a rarity.” His warm breath splays across my cheek. “All alone, waiting forme.”

The possessiveness in his tone sends a shiver down my spine.

His hand moves to my neck, finding a loose grip that puts his thumb right over my trachea. If he tightens his grip, I won’t be able to speak.

Even as terror spears through my chest, there’s a warmth humming beneath my skin.

I remind myself that he’s dangerous, but it doesn’t scare me nearly as much as it should.The damn alcohol must be dulling my inhibitions.

I shouldn’t be here doing this, but I want to see where it leads all the same.

My lips tremble on a whimper. He hums a grumble in response, his lips twisting into a devilish smile.

“You don’t speak much, do you? I like you already.”

That’s when I know I’ve been caught

He roots his hand in my hair suddenly, pulling me into him.

The cup falls from my grasp, his other hand finding my waist. He presses my body against his, trapping me against his hard frame.

Then he captures my mouth with his.

It’s a punishing kiss—fierce and raw with emotions I’ve never experienced before. My legs turn to jelly when he pushes his tongue past my lips.

His teeth scrape my lips, and it hurts. I feel pain all over—it blooms on my scalp and stings my hip. It’s a familiar, comforting feeling that heightens the sensations skittering over my skin and building in my abdomen.

I’ve never felt this alive before.

I kiss him back, and all the thoughts leave my head.

SIX

ALEXANDER

This girl can’t kissfor shit.

But I don’t mind it much. She tastes as good as she looks, like lemonade and some vodka. Tightening my grip on her hair, I arch her backwards and deepen the kiss. Her body vibrates with another whimper, and my cock grows angrier in my pants.

Fuck, I like this.

Her soft lips move with mine in a sloppy rhythm.

I don’t know if the uncertainty in her movements is some kind of act, but I’m so fucking into it. I slide my hand to palm her ass, surprised at what I find.Fuck, it’s even bigger than I thought.

Grabbing a supple handful, I move one of my legs between hers and hoist her until she’s clinging to me more than standing on her own.

This corner of the party is dark, but we’ll need a little more privacy.

It’s just a few steps to the thicket of trees. By the time we make it there, my cock is aching. I need to fuck this girl or else I won’t be able to sleep tonight.

When I set her down, her body’s hot and pliant, like some kind of fucked up marionette doll, waiting for me to do as I please. It’s like she knows exactly what I like.

She moans against my mouth again, and that pushes me over the edge.

I let go of her hair and slide my hands along her body, moving my leg higher to expose more of her thighs. I trail a wet kiss down her clavicle.
